One&Only Gorilla’s Nest
One&Only Gorilla’s Nest is located at the base of the Virunga Mountains, just 20 minutes from where gorilla treks begin. Surrounded by eucalyptus forest, it is spread across fertile grounds, rich with volcanic soil.
Why we like Gorilla's Nest
As expected from a One&Only property, the food really stands out at Gorilla’s Nest. And with fertile volcanic soil surrounding the lodge, dishes are packed with fresh ingredients.
Facilities
The lodge is formed from 14 luxury rooms and seven suites, all encircled by trees. Beautifully spacious, the contemporary interiors mix pale woods and earthy colours with traditional Imigongo styles. Expansive glass doors front the rooms, allowing for lovely views over the woods and farmland. In the restaurant, dishes include fresh herbs and vegetables from the lodge’s gardens.
Activities
As well as gorilla trekking, other activities available include treatments at the lodge’s spa, hiking, golden monkey trekking, cultural visits and visits to Dian Fossey’s grave.
